Has been a consistent ambition in all the draft plans e.g.2012 version.
But we will get there. I hope that Wikimania will have an effect next year.
WikiConference UK
The Wikimedia UK Annual Conference and AGM has established itself as an
attractive annual event that is well attended by existing WMUK members and
a wide variety of supporting individuals and organisations.
One year target
- At least 150 members and supporters attend the annual conference -
either in person or remotely.
- That the conference offers a wide range of speakers, workshops and
activities.
- That the conference either offers multiple tracks, or takes place over
multiple days.
Three year target
- At least 250 members and supporters attend the annual conference -
either in person or remotely.
- That the conference covers a weekend with multiple tracks, and offers
a wider range of speakers, workshops and activities. External guests are
attracted.
- That media attention increases.

recently met in Karlsruhe for the annual German-language "WikiCon"
event.
Wikimedia Deutschland are quick to point out that, though they support
the event logistically and financially, it's not their's but is
community driven.
In contrast, how many people did we have at our nearest equivalent,
the WikimediaUK AGM?
Wikimania notwithstanding, how can we get more people at our future
events, and should we - from 2015 onwards - be looking at a similar
annual conference, beyond (but perhaps containing) the WMUK AGM, of
similar size, and which is open to all Wikimedians?
